The money raised will be split between a live sensory garden at Heath Lodge Community Haven and adult care hub run by Harrogate Neighbours in Boroughbridge.
Over 183 people attended the Masked Ball event, which followed the ‘Behind the Masks’ theme- a campaign launched by Harrogate Neighbours in January 2022 to share the stories of care workers behind their masks to encourage more people to consider a career in care.
Guests enjoyed a three course meal and lucky winners took home a variety of raffle and auction prizes including, a bottle of Buckingham Palace Champagne signed by the former Queen’s Guards, spa passes at Rudding Park, an overnight stay in the Penthouse Suite at The West Park Hotel and a helicopter ride with champagne.
Sue Cawthray, chief executive of Harrogate Neighbours, said: “We’re incredibly grateful for the generosity of guests and of course our ball sponsors and supporters. It was a fantastic night, with a fabulous food from The Crown and entertainment from Soul Sensation – so much fun was had by all.
“We can’t wait to start putting the plans in place for a tranquil sensory garden at the new Health Lodge Community Haven in Boroughbridge for all the residents, their family and friends to enjoy.”
